- Joe,
- Ok, I assume you have all the necessary files to install on your Amiga.
- This would include some version of AmiTCP and PPP device. The thing that I
- found *very* easy to do was get a program called InterInstall from Aminet.
- It's in the file "iiNST_151.lha" in the comm/tcp directory.
-
- It's basically a custom install script for PPP and AmiTCP. You
- dearchive AmiTCP and PPP to RAM or a temp directory on your HD, and then
- run the iiNST program from within the directory that you dearchived
- everything to. It proceeds to ask you a few questions and then does everything
- for the installation on its own. You do have to modify one of the iiNST
- "xxxxxxx.MOD" files to suit your dial-in needs first, before running the
- installation. That's the only hard part to the whole thing. The whole
- process took me about 5 minutes, and it worked on the first try. Just follow
- the documentation that comes with iiNST and you should be fine.
